I’m Game will get a pan-India release
The actor went on to say, “The new release date comes with a larger vision for the film as #imgame gears up for a wider theatrical release across markets. The film will now simultaneously release in multiple languages-Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada taking the experience to audiences across the country and beyond.”
He concluded the statement saying, “This decision has been made to give #imgame the scale, reach, and theatrical platform it truly deserves, allowing audiences across different markets to experience it on the big screen. The wait gets a little longer, But the game gets bigger!”
About the film
Directed by Nahas Hidhayath, I’m Game will mark Dulquer’s return to Malayalam cinema. His last full-length lead role in a Malayalam feature film was the 2023 action-thriller King of Kotha. He was recently seen in a cameo appearance in the 2025 film Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra. Apart from Dulquer, I’m Game also stars Antony Varghese and Mysskin in prominent roles.
Onam is a big release window for Malayalam films. With I’m Game out of the race, the two big films releasing during the Onam season are Vysakh’s Prithviraj Sukumaran-starrer Khalifa, and Girish AD’s Nivin Pauly-Mamitha Baiju starrer Bethlehem Kudumba Unit.
